QT2 Systems - My Life as a Pro - Episode 8 - Tim Snow

Have you ever wondered about the life of a professional
triathlete? In this podcast series, we interview current and
retired QT2 Systems Professional Triathletes, exploring the path
to earning (and maintaining) a pro license, the nuts and bolts of
training and racing, and the ups and downs along the way. The
guests also share how being a pro triathlete shaped their lives,
and what advice they would give to their younger selves.


Episode 8 features Tim Snow. Tim has had a long and storied
triathlon career. He participated in his first triathlon in 1998,
and immediately caught the bug. Over the next couple of years, he
raced as often as he could, including twice on some weekends. He
started having success in these races, and in 2000, met the
qualifications for a pro card. Motivated in part by the
opportunity to race in sold out IRONMAN Florida, he decided to to
take the next step and enter the pro world. Over the next
thirteen years, Tim would go on to race dozens of IRONMAN races
as well as many other shorter events. In 2013, he retired as a
pro, but continued to race as an age grouper - in triathlon, as
well as running and cycling events.


Over the years, Tim also has coached many professional
triathletes. In this podcast, he discusses the opportunities
available to professional athletes, but also the pressures they
experience. Listen in as Tim talks motivations, expectations,
stressors and rewards. His advice to someone considering turning
pro: be comfortable with putting yourself in an environment where
you will lose to become better.
